    Anyone feel guilty for profiting from the real estate collapse?

    You buy and sell when you need to. There will always be suckers to buy out there...case in point the nice upswing before the "tax credit" was ultimately extended last month. See how many of those fall behind in the next year or two...because they "had to buy." Not only that, there are...

    Home Ownership: the path to slavery

    or until you just dump it. Nothing wrong per say of being 5-10% underwater right now if you have no intentions of going anywhere...except you just can't pull anything out anymore or refi. Staying in the home for 10-15 years and able to pay OK, well fine. You just leave yourself open to that...
